iPod engraving (Coldplay lyrics?)

Featured Replies

Hey, lovely Coldplay-Fans!

 

I have a problem: I'm planning to get me an iPod nano and the Apple people are offering to engrave (for free!) a text in the iPod. Well, I suddenly thought of a Coldplay-lyrics-part and then I thought of one of my favourites: "I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war / If you cann tell me something worth, fighting for"

But the problem is, it's limited to 2x23 characters and my quote unfortunately is too long for it :/

I looked for some other lyric-snippets, but I am very sure, that many users around here are soooooo good into Coldplay (way better than I), that they can tell me the best quote fitting on an iPod. :)

There's just one rule: 2x23 characters maximum (space and other special chars count, too!)

 

I'd be soooo fucking grateful if I'll find the quote-of-choice here, so please, please support me, lovely fellow fans :)

 

Thanks so much in advance!

well, that's maybe a little too common for my taste!

But thank you anyway for your suggestion :)

I gotta few different ones there... :)

 

Nobody said it was easy

 

But time is on your side

It's on your side now

 

You came along

And you cut me loose

 

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

 

Do you feel like a puzzle

You can’t find your missing piece

 

You and me are floating on a tidal wave

 

My song is love

Love to the loveless shown

 

You don’t have to be on your own

 

All you ever wanted to be

Living in perfect symmetry

 

If somebody made it

Someone will mess it up

If it was mine (they didnt offer me free engraving :angry: , back in the day :lol: when they 1st came out :rolleyes: ) I would simply get 'X&Y'. I think it would look pretty cool, and not too crowded. :)

crazyduckette, thank you very much for your effort, especially I love the Twisted Logic one! :)

 

But I think this stupid restriction is too much limiting for a proper use of lyrics :/

And somehow I love steph's idea! It's minimalistic but still significant to every coldplay-fan... kind of perfect for a coldplay-loving iPod-owner...

I hop you don't mind me stealing your idea, steph? :confused:

thats ok! Might seem a bit crowded with those anyway. I do like "nobody said it was easy" I like to think of that quote a lot in my life lol :)

 

X&Y is a good one..minimalistic...nice idea :)

Aaah, that's great, thank you so much! :blush:

I just ordered it... can't wait to hold it in my hands! :)

Yeah great! ;) Which quote did you choose?

winnie, an engraving on the ipod!!! i want that!!

you know what you should get,

Coldplay: Chris, Guy, Jonny, Will-A band of geniuses, and nothing else compares.... :)

"give me love over this"

 

I love that line! :heart:

 

(cunt No fair that you get your iPod engraved! :lol: :lol:)

^ i know!!!

 

how about "am i part of the cure, or am part of the disease" :D i love that line!!!

how about: "Nothing matters, except life and the love you make"... i love that line...

 

"life is for living"

 

"we never change"

i like 'em

I like your decision for x&y, felix!

if I had to decide, I'd probably go for 'nothing else compares'. ;)

I think you made a good decision with "X&Y" :)

Mine arrived just on Wednesday, with "tell me your own politik" engraved yay.gif

he he ... that's cool ... but first i need money to get an iPod.

 

i think would've wpicked something like

 

Listen to more Coldplay

You came along

And you cut me loose (<------love that one)

 

or
